Execution mode 1
Fig. 1 is the generalized section of manufacture method that is used to illustrate the method for manufacturing thin film transistor of the low temperature polycrystalline silicon that uses embodiments of the present invention 1 and uses its liquid crystal indicator.And in the key diagram that uses in each execution mode of following explanation, identical or suitable part is used identical symbol, omits its explanation.
With reference to figure 1 (a), in the liquid crystal indicator in the present embodiment, at first (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition: plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) method etc. is forming the basilar memebrane 103 that is made of the silicon oxide film about thickness 2500 on the glass substrate 101 by for example PECVD.Basilar memebrane 103 also can use the laminated film of silicon nitride film and silicon oxide film etc. etc.Form the amorphous silicon film 105 about thickness 500 on this basilar memebrane 103.By the solid state laser that uses YAG laser etc. amorphous silicon film 105 is annealed, become the polysilicon film of the channel region of p type Thin Film Transistor (TFT) and n type Thin Film Transistor (TFT).
Use the laser of λ=370~710nm, as solid state laser preferably YAG laser, YVO 4Laser uses the crystallization of doping Nd ion and the crystallization of Yb ion.Preferably with second high order harmonic component (wavelength 532nm) of Nd:YAG laser (below be designated as YAG2) and Nd:YVO 4Second high order harmonic component (wavelength 515nm) of second high order harmonic component of laser (wavelength 532nm), Yb:YAG laser etc. is used as pulse laser.With reference to figure 6,,, substrate is all scanned rectangular light beam successively by moving the objective table that carries substrate as illuminating method to glass substrate.
With reference to figure 1 (b), by dry etching polysilicon film 109a, 109b, the 109c of island are processed and formed to the polysilicon film of above-mentioned formation, become the dielectric film 111 of the dielectric film of gate insulating film and capacitance electrode.As this dielectric film 111, for example can use that (TETRAETHOXY SILANE: the silicon oxide film that forms of PECVD tetraethoxy-silicane), at this, thickness is 700 by TEOS.Then, covering with resist film under the state of polysilicon film 109a, 109b,, forming lower electrode phosphorus (P) ion of polysilicon film 109a injection as n type conductive impurities.
With reference to figure 1 (c), use sputtering method on dielectric film 111, to form the molybdenum alloy film, remove the part of molybdenum alloy film by carrying out composition, thereby form common electrode 115a and gate electrode 115b, 115c.Thus, constitute storage capacitance 117 by common electrode 115a, lower electrode 113 and dielectric film 111.To as the phosphonium ion of n type conductive impurities be injected into regions and source 119a, 119b thereafter.In addition, regions and source 121a, 121b inject for example boron (B) ion as p type conductive impurities.Like this, form n type Thin Film Transistor (TFT) 123 and p type field-effect transistor 125.Then, on common electrode 115a and gate electrode 115b, 115c, form the diaphragm 127 that constitutes by the silicon oxide film about thickness 6000 that use TEOS CVD to form.Then, carrying out heating-up temperature is 400 ℃ activate annealing.By be dry-etched in diaphragm 127 and dielectric film 111 on form 1st contact hole 129a~129e thereafter.Then, form 3 tunics of molybdenum film, aluminium film and molybdenum film,, form electrode 131a~131d by this 3 tunic being carried out etching processing.And, on 131a~131d, form the dielectric film 135 that for example constitutes, and then form planar film 137 by silicon nitride film.By using the photoresist phenomenon of exposing on this planar film 137, to form the 2nd contact hole 139.By the inside of the 2nd contact hole 139 to the upper face of planar film 137, form transparent electric conductor film.Come part to remove this transparency electric conductor film by etching, thus, form pixel electrode 141.
At peripheral circuit region, use said method to form p type Thin Film Transistor (TFT) and n type Thin Film Transistor (TFT), these are made up, constitute peripheral circuit.In addition, in display pixel area, form display pixel by the transparency electrode that is electrically connected n type Thin Film Transistor (TFT) and form by other approach.And then the glass substrate that will be formed with as these elements of semiconductor device fits with another glass substrate that is formed with colour filter and opposite electrode.And, inject liquid crystal in the gap that between these glass substrate, forms, seal etc., below, can access liquid crystal indicator by the operation of implementing to be scheduled to.
With reference to Fig. 2, the planar structure of the liquid crystal panel that uses above-mentioned process is described.On glass substrate, dispose the target board of making effectively, so that it is maximum to take out number.At this moment, the position relation of the overlapping region during correct laser annealing of holding the panel finished and above-mentioned explanation.As an example, a certain panel is described.
With reference to figure 2 (a), at first, carry out laser radiation from the silicon of the annealing region A205 of panel end.The irradiation of laser scans along the source electrode line direction in the pel array.The source electrode line direction is the direction vertical with the long side direction of light beam, and annealing region A205 is the width on the long limit of light beam.
With reference to figure 2 (b), permission is overlapping for annealing region A205 slight amount, begins scanning by the panel end, finishes the annealing of the annealing region B207 of width of light beam.According to the size of substrate, need repeat identical several times action, thus, finish the whole crystallization of substrate.There is overlapping 209 in annealing region A205 and annealing region B207.
With reference to figure 3, carry out beam flying to comprising on the panel zone 303 with the pixel region 301 of array-like configuration pixel, finally there are 4 zones of annealing region A~D and 3 overlapping 305.In fact design in the glass of liquid crystal panel before the configuration, estimate with the tested glass that only forms transistor and can measure characteristics of transistor in advance.Thus, in the pixel line of the direction parallel with the scanning direction of laser radiation, any 2 transistorized threshold value Vth keep | the relation of Vth1-Vth2|<0.5V.In addition, for the transistor that exists among equitant overlapping of annealing region A and the annealing region B, in overlapping apart from the part of 2 lines of an annealing region B pixel line near side, the source electrode line direction with and extended line on transistorized threshold value Vth3 and the transistorized Vth1 of other line between, have | the relation of Vth1-Vth3| 〉=0.5V.In concept, shown in the chart of Fig. 3, the part of having only 2 lines on right side on the figure in 1 overlapping with and the extended line of 2 lines on transistorized Vth lower slightly.Can think,, in same lap, also can reproduce according to such basic data, therefore consistent with 6 lines in 3 overlapping, carry out special-purpose display panels design.In a single day because the laser beam width does not reproduce for the device that uses with changing and glass size does not change,, just can become the good data of reproducibility if obtain above-mentioned basic data.Thus, it is reflected in the design of liquid crystal panel, not difficult.
Then, the example to the method that is used for eliminating the problem in the demonstration that comprises the different transistorized liquid crystal panel of this Vth value describes.
With reference to figure 4, overlapping portion is provided with panel in the parallel mode of relative source electrode line, the Vth step-down of the predetermined pixel transistor of the source electrode line of m, the m+1 of overlapping portion, m+a, m+a+1, m+2a, m+2a+1.Like this, the predetermined pixel line with the different predetermined pixel transistor of Vth has the feature and the length of laser width for determining of many lines that become adjacency, so, become have as above-mentioned can be with the line in certain cycle of ordered series of numbers regulation.Predetermined pixel line is periodic, so it is easy to be used for the design corresponding with it in advance.
For this 6 root polar curve, adopt the different transistor of transistor 405 of source electrode line in the pixel transistor 403 with other.Vth influences charging rate etc. and visually recognizes and shows and go up mistake, and therefore, width by adjusting transistorized raceway groove and length etc. needn't be appended the difference that the circuit that is used to proofread and correct just can be eliminated Vth.In addition, also can access identical effect by changing transistorized shape, material.
And, make and be connected in the different circuit of drive circuit of other line at this drive circuit that will be connected with this predetermined pixel line.Among Fig. 4,1 drive circuit 409 that drives each line is shown, but inner that be connected with the pixel line of being scheduled to be connected with other line be respectively the different drive circuit of output impedance.Concrete, for as the source electrode line beyond 6 source electrode lines of these predetermined pixel lines, the offset distance of internal wiring is made the long resistance value that changes.Resistance value for a change, the method that the material of centre is made different materials is also effective.In the method, by the simple design change that is used to proofread and correct, so can eliminate the difference of Vth.
Even have only above-mentioned correction, also can obtain being difficult to visually recognizing inhomogeneous in the demonstration that the fluctuation by Vth causes, but, deviation a little also takes place in the fluctuation situation of Vth, makes and can be adjusted to further observation illuminating state, can not further find remaining uneven structure.Concrete, to all specific lines install adjust circuit 407 so that link to each other with transistor and simulate adjustment resistance.Using is not the circuit on the liquid-crystalline glasses and be to use 407 pairs of voltages that put on these transistorized grids of simple adjustment circuit of variable resistor on the power supply substrate that is arranged on installation etc. and variable capacitance etc. to control, can observe display image on one side, Yi Bian adjust inhomogeneous for reaching not in-problem in the use level.
At this, the overlapping portion during laser radiation installs the mode of adjusting circuit with the predetermined pixel line that only can predict the fluctuation of Vth and designs.All lines are installed identical adjustment structure independently, even also can be adjusted into the level that can visually do not recognized in the use for the fluctuation of the Vth that takes place in the uncertain line of generation as the erroneous transmission of laser.
In addition, even be not on certain line, in specific zone, reproduce, reproduce under the situation of the different state of Vth, pixel transistor by should the zone becomes shape different with other zone or different materials, according to the effect identical, can reach improvement by the level that can visually do not recognized in the use of reality or be difficult to visually be recognized with above-mentioned explanation.
In addition, in the present embodiment, only the configuration to the predetermined pixel transistor that is configured in overlapping portion is illustrated, and still, for the transistor of the peripheral circuit of drive circuit etc., also can be configured in the different transistorized generation area of Vth of overlapping portion.So long as digital circuit portion does not have the difference of Vth of the level of digital signal counter-rotating just not need to take countermeasure on the circuit, but, for analog circuit portion, with identical in the pixel, can take to install in advance compensation Vth difference circuit or change the countermeasure of transistorized structure etc.But the transistor arrangement of peripheral circuit is compared with pixel transistor, does not need the configuration of rule fully, therefore, has the selection in the zone that is not disposed at this Vth generation fluctuation of prediction.At this moment, do not need unnecessary correcting circuit etc. is set, can reduce the area of circuit region.
In addition, use present embodiment method in addition, the different zone that can access specific Vth is difficult to visually be recognized on showing for the difference in the zone beyond it, have satisfied | during transistorized group of Vth1-Vth2| 〉=0.5V display unit, also can access the effect identical with mode of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, the situation that the YAG laser of the polysilicon by obtaining the bulky grain diameter is easily formed polysilicon is illustrated, but the situation that forms polysilicon with excimer laser also can visually be recognized can obtain identical effect.In addition, as an example, liquid crystal indicator as infiltration type, use the liquid crystal indicator of ITO film to describe with pixel electrode, but, can extensively adapt to the reflecting electrode that uses A1 etc. reflection-type liquid-crystal display device, have both semitransparent type liquid crystal indicator so that use the organic EL display etc. of the thin-film transistor that constitutes by silicon fiml by identical laser crystallization, the situation of organic EL, on the principle, be very easy to visually recognize the deviation of the characteristics of transistor in the pixel, so can produce bigger effect.
As above-mentioned, invention according to design present embodiment 1, with overlapping of the laser radiation in the laser annealing mode configured board parallel with source electrode line, inhomogeneous being difficult to of demonstration that the fluctuation by the threshold value of the thin-film transistor on the source electrode line in overlapping is caused visually recognized.
Execution mode 2
In execution mode 1, with overlapping of the laser radiation in the laser annealing mode configured board parallel with source electrode line, inhomogeneous being difficult to of demonstration that the fluctuation by the threshold value of the thin-film transistor on the source electrode line in overlapping is caused visually recognized.To this, in the present embodiment, with overlapping of the laser radiation mode configured board parallel with gate line, inhomogeneous being difficult to of demonstration that the fluctuation by the threshold value of the thin-film transistor on the gate line in overlapping is caused visually recognized.
Use embodiments of the present invention 2 low temperature polycrystalline silicon method of manufacturing thin film transistor and use its cross-section structure of manufacture method of liquid crystal indicator identical with execution mode 1, so the omission explanation.
In the present embodiment, in the annealing of amorphous silicon film, gas lasers such as use excimer laser are annealed to amorphous silicon film, thus, become the polysilicon film of the channel region of p type Thin Film Transistor (TFT) and n type Thin Film Transistor (TFT).As laser gas, use Xe-Cl gas, be 308nm as wavelength, at 200~500mJ/cm 2Power bracket carry out the supervision of crystalline condition, determine suitable power simultaneously.As the illuminating method to glass substrate, the objective table by move carrying substrate is successively to the whole scanning light beams of substrate.
With reference to figure 5, at first, scan to the substrate other end by substrate one end successively along the direction irradiation vertical with the long limit of rectangular light beam, end is to the annealing of the annealing region A501 of the width on the long limit of light beam.And, allow a little overlapping to annealing region A501, begin scanning by substrate terminal, finish the annealing of the annealing region B503 of width of light beam.According to the size of substrate, need to repeat the identical action of number of times, finish the whole crystallization of substrate thus.
Below, identical with execution mode 1, carry out the manufacturing of liquid crystal indicator.
The planar structure of the liquid crystal panel of execution mode 2 is described then.On glass substrate, dispose the panel of the target of making effectively, thereby obtain maximum taking-up numbers.At this moment, the position relation of the overlapping portion of laser radiation during correct laser annealing of holding the panel finished and above-mentioned explanation.As example, describe for some panels.Note certain panel, as shown in Figure 6, separate annealing region A501 and two area illumination of annealing region B503, identical with execution mode 1, also there be overlapping 505 in present embodiment.In addition, the mode configured board that parallels with gate line with overlapping 505 long side direction.
In the present embodiment, identical with execution mode 1, in the glass of actual design liquid crystal panel, before the configuration, estimate with the tested glass that only forms transistor in advance and can measure transistor characteristic.Thus, on overlapping 505 parallel direction, any 2 transistorized Vth keep | the relation of Vth1-Vth2|<0.5V.In addition, the transistor that exists among overlapping overlapping 505 of annealing region A and annealing region B, in overlapping 505 near the part of 1 line of the pixel line of the gate line direction of annealing region B503 one side with and prolongation on transistorized threshold value Vth3 and the transistorized Vth1 on other the line between, have | the relation of Vth1-Vth3| 〉=0.5V.In the present embodiment, the scanning direction of laser annealing is parallel with gate line, have only overlapping 505, on the figure 1 line of upside part with and prolongation on transistorized Vth slightly high.According to such basic data, the gate line in conjunction with the predetermined pixel transistor of Vth a great difference that present embodiment is existed carries out special-purpose liquid crystal panel design.
Then, describe comprising the example that the different transistorized liquid crystal panel of this Vth value do not produce the method for the problem in the demonstration being used for.As shown in Figure 5,1 line of the predetermined pixel transistor lift-launch of above-mentioned Vth a great difference is as n number.At this, use with the drive circuit that will be connected and be connected in different circuit on other the line with this predetermined pixel line.Concrete, the material of the part of the drive circuit portion of this line becomes the ITO film that uses the pixel electrode from common metal line, and the part of wiring is become bridge architecture on the ITO film.Thus, the ITO film has higher resistance than common metal line, therefore, has changed resistance value.Resistance value for a change, as the method for using in the enforcement mode 1, elongated to make high-resistance method also effective with the offset distance of wiring.In the method, identical with execution mode 1, change by the simple design that is used to proofread and correct, can eliminate the difference of Vth.
Even have only above-mentioned correction, also can obtain being difficult to visually recognizing the uneven effect in the demonstration that causes by the Vth fluctuation, but, deviation a little also takes place in the fluctuation situation of Vth, makes further observation illuminating state, still can not find the remaining uneven structure that can adjust.Concrete, the adjustment circuit 509 that is connected, can adjusts with simulated mode resistance with transistor is installed for specific line.Using is not the circuit on the liquid-crystalline glasses and be to use the simple adjustment circuit of variable resistor on the power supply substrate that is arranged on installation etc. and variable capacitance etc., the voltage that can impose on these transistorized grids is controlled, thus, can observe display image on one side, with inhomogeneous be adjusted in the use not in-problem level on one side.
At this, the overlapping portion of laser radiation installs the mode of adjusting circuit with the predetermined pixel line that only can predict the fluctuation of Vth and designs.By all lines are independently installed identical adjustment structure, to as fluctuation that the Vth that takes place in the uncertain line of erroneous transmission of laser takes place also can be adjusted into the level that can not visually be recognized in the practicality.
In the present embodiment, the situation that the excimer laser of the polysilicon by obtaining the bulky grain diameter is easily formed polysilicon is illustrated, and still, the situation that forms polysilicon with the YAG laser can be found identical effect.In addition, as an example,, use the liquid crystal indicator of ITO film to describe with pixel electrode as the liquid crystal indicator of infiltration type.Can be widely used in using the reflection-type liquid-crystal display device of the reflecting electrode of A1 etc., liquid crystal indicator with both semitransparent type.And then use the organic EL display etc. of the thin-film transistor that constitutes by silicon fiml by identical laser crystallization, under the situation of organic EL, especially on principle, because the deviation of the characteristics of transistor in the pixel is very easy to visually recognize, therefore, can further produce bigger effect.
As above-mentioned, invention according to present embodiment 2, with overlapping of the laser radiation in the laser annealing mode configured board parallel with gate line, inhomogeneous being difficult to of demonstration that the fluctuation of the transistorized threshold value that is connected with the gate line that exists in overlapping is caused visually recognizes.
In addition,, utilize the overlapping of laser, do not use the CD mask just can dispose the Vth transistor different with driving force if use present embodiment 1,2.
